Serialization of Money class #616

Closed Ferikl closed 3 years ago

Ferikl commented 4 years ago

Hi guys! thanks so much for great package! I am using it a lot and found small inconvenience: JSON serialization create next object:

{
    "amount": "4000",
    "currency": "USD"
}

as you can see "amount" field is a string

Can you please change serialization strategy to make "amount" integer? Thanks!

This is because we support integers greater than PHP's maximum integer. In order to be able to do that, it must be denoted as a string.
